Foss Dictation App? (piefed.social)

I'm looking for a hopefully foss app for dictation. Or even on that just records and transcribes. I'd like it to be Foss but if there is no option I'm open to other suggestions. It's needed for a chronic illness causing memory issues. Need to start taking verbal notes whenever possible.

This is part of an android keyboard plugin, i think. But might be able to use in other ways as well.

Have a look :)

As I've learned repeatedly on Lemmy, futo stuff isn't FOSS or Open Source, but rather "source available"

Remeber folks, the people at FUTO are fascists.
